FAMILY FORGIVE KILLERS
Meanwhile, Luke Fleurs’ father, Theodore, previously revealed that he forgave the men who shot and killed his son.
He said outside the Roodepoort Magistrates Court: “We don’t like to live with hate in our hearts — how can you live with yourself if you don’t love your brother and your sister? We serve a mighty God who looks over us, who guides us, who gives us comfort and strength and we follow his word. That’s why we are the way we are.”
Luke’s sibling Joshua added that the family “forgive those that have done wrong to my brother, but we don’t want bail, we want justice for Luke.”
Meanwhile, Luke’s sister Sydni shared a heartbreaking Instagram post ahead of his funeral.
Posting a picture of him as a young boy, she shared: “I think I’ll always be waiting for you, my baby. Waiting for your off-season. Waiting for my birthday wish. Waiting for “Did you see how I played tonight/today?
“Waiting for an “ I love you, be safe”. Waiting for Christmas. I’ll just always be waiting.
She added: “I hope I’ll always remember you. I hope you‘ll always be in my dreams and in my heart. Guide me and protect me, my brother. I love you, I meant what I said, I love you beyond this life.
“I cannot wait to be with you”.
